Bitter Coffee?

[StinkyPete]

If you are served a crook cup of coffee that is bitter, the bitterness can be removed with a small pinch of salt.  You wont taste the salt, but the bitterness will be gone.    The salt interacts with the taste buds that identify bitter flavors and prevent them from properly detecting "bitter".    The difference is amazing.

In Japan we put salt on watermelon to make it sweeter.

In our house, we put salt (and plenty of it) on Brussels Sprouts, and then throw them in the bin.

Bad cup of coffee out recently Pete?

I took Sandra on a ride a while back and stopped at the Wellington Court House Cafe (where you & I've had a reasonable cup before). New starter, but how she could have made a pot of tea and a coffee that bad was a mystery to us.

Luckily the food at the pub was much better. Then a few weeks later the Health Inspectors at work did an inspection. It's even better there now with some updated facilities and processes.

Yep..   The cafe at the Myponga Market today served me a rubbish coffee, which reminded me of the salt trick.   It turned a awful coffee into a better, but not good, coffee.

Many years ago I bought a coffee at the Elliston roadhouse. I don't know if they used bore water by mistake or mixed up the sugar and the salt (back in those days I had a teaspoon of sugar in my coffee) but 20km down the road when I had my first mouthful I had to slam on the brakes and veer off the road to spit the concoction out. I'm not sure I could bring myself to put even a pinch of salt in a cup of coffee these days.

 In the day when my brother and myself worked underground in Rosebery on  the Wet  coast of Tassie in the early 80tys. The rude B***** kept on whining to make him a coffee as he made them all .
To make sure he never asked me again i put 6 tea spoons of sugar in it and gave it to him to drink . I dont know if it cured his bitterness towards me to this day , but i can guarantee it stops repetitive questions  .
